K.U. Exceeds Its Quota For War Loan Drives In Two Years' Work
Total of $113,000 Given to War Funds by University of
Kansas
A total of $113,800 has been subscribed by the University to the various war work funds and government loans since September, 1916. If the exact total were known, it would exceed the above amount since a part of the University's quota has been accredited to Douglass County.
In these campaigns where a separate account for the University has been kept, it has always exceeded its quota. During the summer session of 1917 $1,000 was raised. The Y. M. C. A.'s quota of $11,000 was met during October, 1917. The Red Cross Christmas roll call for 1917 and 1918 and also the Red Cross spring drive secured liberal donations. The United War work campaign secured $12,000 from the students and faculty.
To the Second Liberty Loan over $50,000 worth of bonds was subscribed The quota for the Third Liberty Loan was $15,000 but the amount subscribed nearly doubled this, the total being $28,800. For the Fourth Liberty Loan, the quota was placed at $25,000 but here, K. U. went beyond expectations and subscribed to $66,000 worth of bonds.
Besides all this, there have been generous donations to all relief funds.

Read the Daily Kansan.
A mass meeting of University men probably will be hold next week to determine the opinion of men students on the honor system, according to Herschel Washington, president of the Men's Student Council. The men will be taken as was done in the woman's mass meeting a short time ago.
Opinion on the Hill has favored the adoption of the honor system. The women voted to endorse it, and some representative men students have given their opinions as favorable to the plan. The Man's Student Council and Women's Student Government Association are co-operating in learning student wishes in this matter and probably both will push its adoption if students vote for it.

Plymouth Jottings
Is Kansas a Christian Common wealth?
If a professor of the history of religions offered a course in Mohammedanism in the university, would anybody object? That would be a purely educational matter. Nobody would suspect that the teacher was trying to make Mohammedans out of his students.
Or is it Mohammedan?
If a professor of the history of religions offered a course in Christianity in the university, ought anybody to object? Wouldn't that be a purely educational matter? Or would somebody suspect that the teacher was trying to make Christians out of his students? Suppose he succeeded in such an undertaking. Would his students be damaged any in their morals, as citizens, if they became Christians?
But suppose the professor taught that Christianity was thus and thus, the religion of such and such ideas, practices, emotions. Some good brother might rise up and deyed said professor in some ministers' meeting in Wichita or Salina or Hutchinson. And some, liberal minded layman might touch the finger of scorn at the professor's mediaevalisms.
What is Christianity anyway?
Is it a form of church government?
Is it a method of baptism? Is it a consensus of opinion? Is it a traditional set of ideas? Or is it something bigger than all this?
What do you think?
If we had real Christianity, do you think we would have seitanism?
If you have your thinking cap handy, put it on for a few minutes.
Yours very cordially,
